Yep, my store had only Cafe Bustelo in cans. There were no bags or any other options of other coffee to be had. It was weird. I didn't get a chance to ask about it. Maybe it was temporary, but I haven't seen any other coffee there. They used to have quite a bit. Dunno if it was some sort of supply chain issue. I should check the new Aldi that opened up in another town near me.

We have had some supply issues with coffee but nothing much, in fact they've added some more fair trade ones. We still have the Cafe Bustelo in bags
I just tried the Ravens blend. It's quite good, $4.99 a 10 oz bag

Adorkable rockstar!
My hub loves the death wish pumpkin chai coffee I bought him. I had a shot of the coffee, black and it was tasty.

We don' have Starbucks where I live here in regional Australia. I am travelling this week and looking forward to having a pumpkin spice latte.
I made myself a second cup of coffee...a peppermint mocha. It's really good, maybe even better than Starbucks!
I love peppermint in a latte! I get a pump of peppermint when I get a Starbucks latte. I've not tried a mocha version. That sounds really tasty.
I tried a vanilla coffee in my porridge, but it was not very good.
Scored a deal on Aldi Halloween ground coffee. They had the 12 oz bags of Sleepy Hallow and Ravens Roast for $2.99! I got 4 bags Ravens, and one Sleepy. Sleepy was too fruity for me, by son likes it a lot, but they're both really good mixed with the German blend I usually buy.
I bought a bag of Tim Horton’s coffee. They only had medium roast in decaf but I figured, maybe I can just add more grounds and make it stronger. Plus, it was $6.50 for a 12 Oz bag compared to Peet’s that was on sale for $8.99 but only a 10.5 oz bag.
Well, Tim’s was good but I was hoping it would be better. And if I need to use more grounds for a cup of coffee, I don’t know if I’ll be saving much by buying Tim’s. I don’t buy Peet’s unless it’s on sale. I’ve been using the Costco decaf which is a dark roast. It’s not great either, but mixed with the espresso, it’s too good a deal to pass up. I think I’m paying $15 for three pounds.

I found that good coffee in the US was quite expensive. However, I've never tried Peet's.
I buy organic arabica (central America) for € 6.15 for 500 g and it's really excellent. Isn't Tim Horton's coffee Canadian?
I'm pretty sure Tim Horton's is Canadian or at least very popular there.

I used to live in Canada and I can vouch that Timmies is pretty much a daily staple for many Canucks!

Today I had lunch at a Mideastern Type Restaurant . and I hadn't had any coffee yet. They only had Turkish or Nescafe. I didn't think I had ever had a Nescafe but I've heard good things about it.
I was surprised to learn that its just fancy instant coffee. Not a big fan.
